Abstract
The text analyzes the omnipresent crisis in the humanities and attempts to identify the reasons for the repeated manifestation of this crisis. Based on an examination of relevant intellectual turning points, the text raises the question of the extent to which a connection between literary reading and aesthetic experience exists after postmodernism. Could a new uniform term for the era be agreed upon after the 2000s? In the absence of such a term, current research refers to post-postmodernism, epimodernism, or metamodernism. First, the paper examines whether the current crisis in literary interpretation methods can be considered a new phenomenon. If the answer is affirmative, it discusses how the position of literary reading has changed, that is, whether a non-semantic form of reading can be developed after postmodern and post-postmodern theories. Second, the study partially addresses which approaches to interpretation have replaced traditional theories of aesthetic experience after the crisis of various theoretical frameworks. Third, the article examines whether moods can be interpreted using more traditional forms of semiotics.
